Reevaluating Testing Strategies in Software Development

Introduction:

Software development practices have evolved significantly over time, with a prevailing trend towards thorough testing at all levels. This report aims to critically analyze the effectiveness and efficiency of current testing methodologies, particularly in light of concerns regarding return on investment and the burden of maintaining extensive test suites. Additionally, it explores alternative approaches, such as organizing code into smaller, well-documented modules reminiscent of microservices architecture, and the trend in functional programming to minimize testing of side effects.

Argument 1: Distinguishing Business Logic from Infrastructure Concerns when Unit Testing

Description: Emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between code segments directly contributing to the core business logic, which must be thoroughly tested specially with unit tests, and ancillary code responsible for infrastructure operations, such as fil
